We are currently preparing our accessibility statement which will set out in more detail what you can expect.

  • This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 AA standard, due to 'the exemptions listed below'.
  • primary and secondary schools or nurseries - except for the content people need in order to use their services, for example a form that lets you outline school meal preferences.

  • embedded Google Maps are not accessible within the site

  • any forms with bespoke styling on the site may not be accessible

  • Images: We endeavour to ensure that, where needed, we include alternative text for any images. If any images do not have a text alternative, so people using a screen reader cannot access the information, we will rectify this if notified. 

  • Video: We endeavour to ensure that, where needed, we include frame titles, captioning and transcriptions for any videos. If any videos do not have a frame title, captions or transcriptions, so people using assistive technology cannot access the information, we will rectify this if notified.

Ongoing efforts

  • We are continually working to improve the accessibility of our website by:

  • Screen reader compatibility: whilst our website has been built include functionality that works with screen readers, we may need to make some improvements by working with our website provider.

  • User feedback: We will incorporate feedback from users to enhance accessibility.

  • Keeping up-to-date: We will endeavour to keep up to date with evolving accessibility standards and best practices.
